1966 Photograph + 2015 Poem = This Page

I promised Mrs. CarPeo I would neither 
reveal authorship of the poem
nor doctor the photo. 

 Oh my!
 What would you say
 as I passed by!
 Caption balloons
 Are heavy in the air
"look at my toes"
"I have quite a pair"
"look at my hair,
 shining here"
 Look at his shirt
 with its theatrical
 Nonchalant wear.
 Oh my!
 The boys
 Don't care!
